THE WALL OF FACES

Sergeant Von Steven Anderson, Served with the 1st Platoon, Company B, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

As long as you are remembered you will never die....

Sergeant Von Steven Anderson was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Valor, with Combat Distinguishing Device (V), for his exemplary gallantry in action. He served as a Rifleman and was assigned to B CO, 1ST BN, 5TH MARINES, 1ST MARDIV.
